    not that there's been much difference between him and Miller this year (both with .296 OBP, Estrada with more pop) but little difference can be big this time of year. Estrada out for season

    Listening to Stoney on the Score this morning, he seemed to be implying the same thing, saying he'd like to be on the same workout regimen Soto was on in the offseason. It's hard not to raise your eyebrows a bit when a player equals his career totals in homeruns in one year Is there a minor league expert out there that may know if Soto changed his stroke this year, ala Sandberg, or if his power surge is attributed to weight loss, etc. I love Soto and his current production, but it is difficult not to be skeptical on the means he might have pursued in order to do so. I don't think it's difficult to not be skeptical. He's hitting the age when power develops. He got himself into shape last offseason as well. I heard Stoney say that too, and i then repented for listening to the score. Its bull. He lost weight, not gained it. He realized after six years, that his future could be different if he got into shape. That said, I think he gets figured out by the league next year, and possibly in the playoffs against good pitching and with ALL the opponents' scouts watching him.

    anyone on the 40 man roster has a major league contract and vice versa (that's why Samardzija is on the 40 man) even if they're playing in Iowa - or Daytona for that matter.

    You're missing a BIG difference. In our case, it really is CT's fault.

    You can't play a team from your own division in the DS. you're saying the same thing. If the wild card comes from the division of the "best record team", they don't play each other. If the wild card is not from the same division as the "best record team", they play the "best record team" thus not playing a team in their own division.

    Soto...mmmm

    actually up in the loss column. Cubs control their own destiny Now I'm excited.

    poopin my pants

    He definitely had some jingling HUGE brass balls last night. after checking the sound my own make, i can assure you that big brass balls dont really jingle, its more of a clanking sound ;) must be hollow. That's why he's not a closer.

    peaking at the right time. I think he and Eyre were both overused last year, and that this accounts for the slow start. Edited to add: Howry's career would been very different if Foulke had not emerged in 2000.

    what's the latest on Sheets?
  14. Bull
    Why? Hes already said hes playing. Really? wow Brewers about to break it open I smell a 1st place tie :( I miss something? Why would Braun not play Saturday? He's Jewish
  15. Bull
    lets start with a hit

    3/21 was an overpay, just becasue I can't see him getting offers that were close to that this offseason. However, his results have definitely been worth more than 7M a season. And I think Larry deserves a ton of credit for this. This is the point that get's lost in the shuffle too often. Larry has done a very nice job this year. How many guys have rotated in and out of that bullpen? What I think has helped Larry is that Curly and Moe were fired last year. Post of the day

    It could be dependent on Ward for all we know.

    also this viewtopic.php?t=39220 some funny stuff there. Prior and Miller ahead of Marshall.
  19. Bull
    Was this thread about Trachsel? I forgot. Anyway, I dug up this tid-bit. viewtopic.php?t=40831&start=0 I had forgotten Marshall started the season on the DL and pitched 0 innings in ST. Anyone else think Trax was brought in because Marshall is experiencing pain?
  20. Bull
    no.
  21. Bull
    Trachsel needs to stop doing this to me. Just pitch 2 more friggin' innings you make it look like the hardest friggin thing to do. He's given the team a 2.70 ERA (sure it's been ugly) thus far, I'm stunned and rather pleased. anomoly
  22. Bull
    and hit home runs. or had you forgotten already?
  23. Bull
    and stats clearly don't tell you any of that. Yes, they do but the math in order to get to the final number is dizzying. lucky for all of us, there are website that do all the math for us there is no "final number". All stats have value in their own way, but there is no one magic stat. That's why we are able to use ridiculous amounts of bandwidth arguing.
  24. Bull
    well played

    When I started this thread, I didn't think there would be all of this discussion over semantics. My point is that Lilly has been the best Cub starter all year, has been the starter to break all of the losing streaks, and continues to be the pitcher who gives the Cubs the best chance to win games this year. To me, that defines the "ace" of a staff. I'm not talking about next year, who has the best stuff, his flyball ratio, or whether he would be the "ace" on other teams. Oh come on now Btb....if you said the sky looked blue you'd get a nice little semantic debate about what shade of blue! Anyone who knows anything, knows the sky is: Teal 12% of the time "Sky Blue" ironically only 8% Aqua 9% Midnight Blue 7% Black 32.6% various shades of the red/orange/yellow families 4% others 25.3% of the other categories "blue" constitutes less than 1% my knowledge of the subject is so far superior to those of you who observe with a crayola 8-pack mind. I see the full 256 crayon box. you are now on ignore Very good MrWood. I'm here to entertain. Lika joggling monkey er somthin'.
